Minhajul Abedin (Bengali: মিনহাজুল আবেদিন ) (born September 25, 1965, Chittagong) is a former Bangladeshi cricketer who played in 27 ODIs from 1986 to 1999. He captained Bangladesh twice during during the Asia Cup of 1990-91.
A right handed middle order batsman, Abedin was part of Bangladesh's inaugural ODI game, against Pakistan at Moratuwa in 1985-86. Over a decade later he bowed out of international cricket, in the 1999 World Cup. He was considered lucky to be in the squad having not made a 50 in his 22 innings prior. After making 5 against the West Indies in their opening game he found form with an unbeaten 68 in a win against Scotland which gave him the man of the match award. Another unbeaten half century came in his next game, against the eventual champions Australia. Despite failing with the bat in the final game, against Pakistan in Northampton, he played a major part in an upset victory by taking 1/29 off 7 overs with his offspin. It was Bangladesh's first ever win over a Test playing team.
Abedin didn't get a chance to play Test cricket for Bangladesh but had an impressive first class record with 1709 runs at 51.78.
